And fun, colorful events to attend!

At many places, like Café Nemoland, you can smoke weed in an outdoor seating area.

This restaurant/bar/music venue, like many spots in Christiania, is open for late-night shenanigans. There's also the Woodstock Café, which hosts live music and serves organic beer and coffee until 5 a.m., and plenty of other laid-back places to hang out well into the night.

Most of the food you'll find in Christiania is organic and high quality — though reasonably priced.

Though crime has increased since its founding years, Christiania still retains the community-focused, hippie-like spirit of its original inhabitants.

Many of its near 1,000 residents are artisans who try to live as organically as possible. Things are pretty mellow here: Christiania prohibits running — it may be seen as a police raid — as well as private cars.
